DSquared2 is renowned for its elaborate runway shows and now it's teamed up with Manchester City FC to create a collection for the team to wear on the away legs of their Champions League campaign. Although wanting to keep its trademark silhouettes and cuts, Dsquared2 was inspired by the diversity of personalities on the team and wanted to incorporate this into the collection.

The brands's founders and designers, Dan and Dean Caten explain: “Our work is shaped by our passion for the game and for the faces of this team, as well as our close friendship with Pep Guardiola. We worked closely with him and the rest of the team to define each piece. The looks celebrate the youth, athleticism and contemporary masculinity of these amazing and stylish players and their coach.”

DSquared2 has opted for a more casual approach on the collection, featuring off-duty denim for an up-to-date, fresh look. Although casual, DSquared2 is renowned for detail and has incorporated this into the collection. Manchester City’s insignia are featured near the notch lapel of the blazers, on ties and on the jackets.

Damian Willoughby, Senior Vice President of partnerships for City Football Group said: “Manchester City is particularly excited by this collection from Dsquared2. The collaboration combines the worlds of football and fashion and it’s fantastic to have such innovative and creative partners on board.”

The collection has been produced in Italy but, as the motto of the brand always says, “Born in Canada. Living in London. Made in Italy.”
